No response yet from anyone using 3.4.5, but:
1 Mandriva user of LO 3.4.4 reports 'not there', whereas
1 Mageia " " " " " IS there!

Under Ubuntu my desktop environment provides the dialogs unless I choose the office dialogs explicitly. Under a xterm session with no desktop environment loaded it falls back to the built-in dialogs.
I just switched to a KDE session (different user, but same LO install),
and sure enough: no 'Open/Save 'Use LO dialogs''. I had thought that
this file made the kde version compatible:
libobasis3.4-kde-integration_3.4.5-502_i386.deb
but I guess not.
It seems that KDE users are not to be trusted with hidden files 
One other odd thing I noticed; when attempting to show hidden files with
Ctrl-h, Help comes up instead. Checking Help (F1) brings up help in
KompoZer... very odd IMO. Why on earth would Help come up in an HTML
editor? Further, it comes up in Design mode to boot.

Reinstalled:
libobasis3.4-en-us-help_3.4.5-502_i386.deb
and now Help displays normally. Odd, I'll uninstall that package later
to see if it behaves the same.
I use Ubuntu 10.04 GNOME 2.x and have some KDE packages installed.
I sometimes have packages open Konqueror's browser instead of Firefox, which is the default one.
Looks like somewhere the info for which package is to run for which call for a mime type of file has been messed with.
Kompozer should not have been opened for any reason instead of a browser. I use it to, and no where do I know will it allow me to set it as the default package for displaying HTM/HTML files.
Here in Mandriva KDE land:
System Settings|File Associations|Text|Html|Add
?
One fellow Mandriva user reports:
"Decided to logout and then re-login using every other window manager
available with Mandriva 2010.2.
The only time that the LO Open/Save option appears is when I load
Gnome!"
So LO is taking real-time steps to avoid showing the option when
detecting use of certain desktops (e.g. KDE) in certain distributions
(e.g. Debian, Mandriva).
Perhaps it has had problems with it in those areas in the past, so
now omits it rather than defaulting it to 'off'.
You previously asked the question I quoted, and I described the options
used with Mandriva KDE to achieve your wish w.r.t. Kompozer & HTML
files (in case you had similar options available).
Still awaiting news of what other LO users on Mandriva report.

I already confirmed when I wrote:

Our postings seemed to have crosssed on the wires...
Although I've just booted Mandriva 2011 (KDE) and its LO 3.4.3 *does*
show the Open/Save option...
Hi
Did you manage to solve the problem in the end? Did you get any good answers from the LO mailing list? Was the UserProfile page any help?

Yes, yes, yes - thanks to all!
